"Will be missed.
Thanks for everything and be very happy.
It's going to be the best in the world, in 2 years leaves for Barcelona.
Is a genius."
"It now goes to a fantastic club with a very own mystique."
"Sturridge, Sterling and Markovic ... all slow guys"
"It's a pity you don't stay another year at Benfica. And I mean only one more season because, realistically, he's already got more than value to play at the highest level in the Premier League."
"Good luck Markovic, thank you for this wonderful year.
Will be world top very soon."
"Great player!"
"For England ... at least it was for a team that I admire more!!! That still has some purity of real Club ... Despite the fact that today be increasingly difficult.
Furthermore, it is a team with youth."
"Very, very sorry.
Good luck in your career. Doesn't surprise me at all if in the next couple of years is in the running for the Golden Ball."
"I wish you all the luck in the world but I'm sure you won't be needing. Has the potential to be one of the best in the world. A pity I can't continue at Benfica and a sadness to leave for so little. Will be sold in the future for values above 50 m, there is no doubt in my mind"
"Being here was my favorite and gave everything, but do not hide the hurt to see him leave. Anyway, a hug and good luck."
"It's going to be a serious case in the land of the Beatles, I have no doubt."
"A machine on and off the field"
"Thanks for all you seem great Markovic, inside and outside the field. With this approach you will very far"
"In the Pool the BR put the advanced and he soon explodes."
They said the same thing bout Mark Gonzalez too - fans, plaudits and countrymen.

Benfica fan on Liverpool following signing of Lanarkshire in July 2014:
"In the Pool the BR put the advanced and he soon explodes."
He'll have massive competition for that one. Some promising 17 year old just lost his squad number.
